INDARKPURITY ZINE INTERVIEW
Chronicore Zine 2013


CHRONIC GREETINGS ! PLEASE TELL US YOUR NAME AND THE DETAILS OF YOUR ZINE.
- Hail Chronicore 'zine! Alex here of In Dark Purity 'zine. In Dark Purity 'zine is the embodiment of my passion for the music I love. The 'zine is in the traditional photocopied and stapled on the side format that features Underground Metal bands that I'm into.

WHAT  MOTIVATED YOU TO START PUBLISHING YOUR OWN ZINE?
- I just wanted to do more than just buying records and merchandise to support the bands that I'm into so I decided to do a 'zine.

HOW DID YOU COME OUT WITH THE NAME OF YOUR ZINE?
- My passion for Undergrond Metal is in dark purity!

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH A THEME FOR YOUR ZINE?
- Death Metal is the subgenre of Metal that I love the most which is why I mostly feature Death Metal in my 'zine.

WHAT ZINES INSPIRES YOU?
- There are a lot of 'zines that inspired and continue to inspire me, but In Dark Purity 'zine will not exist if it weren't for The Grimoire Of Exalted Deeds 'zine. Bill Zebub is God!
CAN YOU STILL REMEMBER YOUR VERY FIRST ROMANCE WITH A ZINE?  WHAT ZINE WAS IT?
- I honestly can't remember the very first 'zine I got my hands on, but for the first Metal 'zine, it's an issue of The Grimoire Of Exalted Deeds 'zine. My life was never the same after reading it. I love the 'zine's sarcasm and brutal sense of humor.

WHEN DID YOUR ZINE'S FIRST ISSUE COME OUT?
- I'm poor with dates, but it was most probably around 2000.

HOW MANY ISSUES HAVE YOU PUBLISHED SO FAR?
- I'm lazy. I have released six issues so far and I hope it's not the last!

IS YOUR ZINE FOR SALE/NOT FOR SALE/FOR TRADE?
- All of the above, but I prefer to trade it with amateur porn or panties of your significant other.

HOW DID YOU GET IT OUT THERE?
- Like the music that I support. I spread the 'zine to relevant channels in the underground.

WHO WAS THE FIRST BAND/PEOPLE YOU INTERVIEWED? HOW?
- The first band I interviewed was Internal Bleeding. I've been a fan of the band since the beginning and I have been in contact with Chris Pervelis for a long time and asked him if he would be down for an interview and he said yes. It was an honor.

HOW DO YOU GATHER AND ROUND UP CONTRIBUTORS?
- I don't because I do everything, but windows, hahaha! In Dark Purity 'zine is a reflection of my passion and I want it to be pure which is why I don't ask for contributions. The only contribution I have is in the sixth issue. Maija The Goatess sent me a story that fed my sick desires so I decided to publish it.
IT WAS A VERY LONG STRUGGLE, HOW HAVE YOUR POLICIES TOWARDS ADVERTISING AND REVIEWS CHANGED THROUGH OUT THIS YEARS?
- Indeed. Every issue is a struggle. As far as advertisement is concerned, I only publish the ones that has relevance to the music. I still love what I loved before and still hate what I hated before so my reviews will still be the same.

YOUR GOALS?
- To be able to release an issue whenever I can even if it takes me years to finish.

YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR OWN LABEL, CAN YOU ALSO SHARE THE DETAILS WITH US?
- I established Berdugo Records to further support the bands that I'm into. The label is dedicated exclusively to release records of bands from the Philippines.

As of this writing, we are preparing to release the Pus Vomit's "Stoned To Death" EP which should be out by January 2013 and Death After Birth and Surrogate Prey are currently recording at Demiurge Digital for the split CD.
